Paul Joseph Watson (born 24 May 1982) is a British YouTuber, radio host and conspiracy theorist. In 2002, he began working at the American radio host Alex Jones's website InfoWars, where Watson promoted and advocated for 9/11, chemtrail and New World Order conspiracy theories. He would later promote fake news stories like Pizzagate. He later shifted his focus to criticisms of feminism, Islam and left-wing politics. Watson also contributes to InfoWars's talk radio programme The Alex Jones Show, which he occasionally hosts or co-hosts.

Since 2011, Watson has hosted his own YouTube page, prisonplanetlive, on which he expresses his views on topics such as contemporary society, politics and modern liberalism in an often mocking manner. His YouTube channel criticises and mocks the "woke mob", social justice warriors, feminism and anti-racist movements. Until July 2016 he embraced the label "alt-right", but he now identifies as part of the New Right. In May 2019 Facebook and Instagram permanently banned him for violation of their hate speech policies. As at October 2025 his YouTube page has over 2.06 million subscribers.
